Schrödinger's Strait - Trump Thread #162A

The Strait of Schrödinger remains open and closed, safe and dangerous, insurable and uninsurable, blockaded and free.

"You put your tanker in, you put your tanker out
In, out, in, out, you sail it all about
You do the Straits of Hormuz and you turn around
That’s what it’s all about!"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Got overwhelmed by the 🍊💩's idiot fuckery last time and missed out thread #161 so have designated this one as fake #162...A

Trump started watching Bullshit Barbies presser this after re the shooting that wasn't...
She was ranting about Democrats using inflammatory language which is totally why this happened... Whilst she used terms such as "crazed" and "deranged"

They accuse the left of using inflammatory language for.... describing what Trump and the GOP are doing/have done.

@logicisall

Interesting article, but I think it's more than natural fear of being accused of being antisemitic. I think part of it is that the US has been 'pro-Israel' for so long and so 'completely' that it's going to take a massive change in the national psyche to see them as an aggressor. And that maybe, just maybe, the Palestinian population may have a point in wanting to be recognized.

and ...Florida!

The White House has bees.

Wonder if Chuck will mention the bee research place Turd shut down. From CNN:

"King Charles is a keen supporter of beekeeping. Buckingham Palace is home to four beehives, which produce the honey Charles enjoys in his tea – and which his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, once gave as a gift to the late Pope Francis.
Thankfully for Charles’ hosts, President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, the White House has a new beehive of its own to parade.
Last week, the first lady – perhaps with the King’s upcoming visit in mind – unveiled the new structure, which stands in the South Lawn and is shaped like a miniature version of the White House.
The new hive will house two new bee colonies, adding to the two colonies that were installed in 2009 by Michelle Obama, the first lady at the time.
The existing hive populations reach around 70,000 bees during the summer months, the White House said, and can produce up to 225 pounds of honey each year. The new hives will boost production, the White House said.
After taking tea in the (actual) White House, Charles and Camilla will then pay a visit to the miniature one. It’s another instance of how much thought goes into diplomatic spectacles like this week’s state visit."

That is the biggliest beehive, containing the bestest bees that will FIGHT like true patriots. Their honey is the most beautiful honey in the world.

Thank You for your attention in this matter.

The Obama one looks rather agricultural. See, the Obamas have no class at all. Looks like it was bought from a bee place. Looks top of the range bee shop, but nowt special.

But the Melania one. That just drops class, and wealth. A trendsetter so she is.

A bit off topic but can anyone recommend any good podcasts for current events and geopolitics?

I'm not ignoring you.Smile

I'm not much of a podcast listener, but some folk here have favourites so I'll leave the recommendations to them.

I had to open an article to find out from the caption that it was a beehive. I thought the Trumps might have gifted the royals a fugly duck house. I agree about the Marie Antoinette vibe.

I’m no beekeeper but a busy patio and throughfare area in a garden doesn’t seem like a sensible location for a hive. They’re usually tucked away in the corner of an orchard or garden.

Notice how Britain never really bothers the top spots. Yet had the biggliest empire.

There's a lesson there.

That's what I thought.

All for show.

Hopefully the people actually responsible for the bees' welfare will step in if (or more likely, when) necessary.
